I’m on a non imm O visa. If I left Thailand for 6 months with a re-entry permit would I still have to show proof of my monthly deposit while out of the country?

Hi I'm just seeking advice so I get things in the right order. I arrived on a Non-Immigrant O Visa for 90days. I entered on 8th December and have accommodation for a month.

I have a TM30 but I understand I need a Residency certificate to open a bank account.

Will I be able to get a Residency Certificate with 30 days accommodation booked? If not, what is the criteria?

My intention is to apply for a further 90 day visa then the year extension.

Is this the right way of doing things?

I’m currently working toward the annual renewable Non-Immigrant O (Retirement Extension). I’m already in Thailand, have opened a bank account in my name, deposited the 800,000 THB to begin the seasoning period, and am now dealing with the usual red tape regarding proof of residence.

My question is: What exactly is required for medical insurance?

Is insurance required for this visa type, or is it only mandatory for the Non-Immigrant O-A (Long Stay) visa?

I’m getting conflicting information from online sources, so I’d really appreciate clarification from anyone who has gone through the process.

I entered Thailand on non immigrant o visa for 90 days and leave on March 4 2026. When can I come back into Thailand on a new non immigrant o visa in 2026

I'm in Thailand on a non-immigrant o type Visa. We intend to apply for a marriage visa. My wife is thai we married in the U.S. We went to Kasikorn Bank to open an account. I had a printed copy of my evisa, my digital arrival card, my passport and our rental agreement. We also had with us a copy of our us marriage license that had been certified by the state the state department and the Thai Embassy in the United States.

Kasikorn Bank refuse to allow me to open up a bank account. I don't understand what's going on has anybody else had this experience with Kasikorn Bank?

Anybody knows, does Phuket Immigration cancel a DTV and afterwards issue a Non Immigrant O visa (retirement)?

Quick question: I have an Elite visa that is about to expire, and I plan to switch to a Non-Immigrant O (marriage) visa. My plan was to go to Savannakhet, show my 400,000 THB bank letter, and apply there like people used to do.

But I just saw an announcement from the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet saying that starting 1 January 2025, all visa applications must be submitted through the e-Visa system, and applicants can no longer submit passports or documents in person. It also says you can only apply once you are already outside Thailand.

Can anyone confirm if this is really true?

Is Savannakhet now 100% e-Visa only with no walk-ins for any visa type, including Non-O marriage visas?

Is this the same way for all other consulates?

If anyone has recent (2025) experience, please let me know. Thanks!

How many days prior to the expiration of my Non-Immigrant O visa can I apply for my annual extension?  Also, is the timeframe the same whether I am doing it on my own or using an agent? Thanks 🙏

Hi, i have a question about the non imm O visa which i have got through now, just been filling out the TDAC and its asking for my departure flight details. i am not exactly sure when im leaving, obviously before my 90 days are up, but it could be a fair bit sooner as i want to go to Japan too. so i have not got an onward flight.

Also at the end it says travellers need to have who approved vaccines ? its asking for which countries you have been to within the last 2 weeks and is not accepting GBR ?

Good day all.

Time for another extension of my non-immigrant "O" visa based on a Thai child. I've used the search function to look for changes to the criteria as the authorities are well-known for tweaks that can torpedo a perfectly decent application but it's very confusing.

Is it the case that the 400k now has to be seasoned in a Thai bank account for 90 days/3 months prior to application?
